How Can I Create an Accessible Breakout Space?

How Can I Create an Accessible Breakout Space?

When designing a layout for your office breakout area always consider accessibility for staff members and visitors.

If you include employees in the commercial office furniture design process they will be able to advise you on their preferred access requirements - for example, height adjustable tables and lounge chairs with easy to reach plug sockets can make daily tasks easier for physically disabled employees. Some other things to consider are:

1. Walkways

When planning any breakout seating furniture walkways should be a minimum of 90 cm with at least 150 cm passing place so that a wheelchair user can easily pass someone coming in the opposite direction.

If you have an employee who uses a wheelchair, take their advice first - wheelchairs come in many different shapes and sizes, with some being easier to manoeuvre around breakout rooms than others. For example, tub chairs might not be as suitable as breakout chairs with no armrests.

2. Quiet & private spaces

Arrange breakout furniture so that all staff or visitors can easily eat, drink and join groups and conversations without feeling isolated but also have equal opportunities for privacy. Employees with hidden disabilities may benefit from access breakout area seating in quieter spaces.

3. Sofas & soft seating

For breakout area furniture soft seating consider using modular sofas with one arm with at least a 45 cm high seat. For eating areas make sure the ends of tables have a sufficient overhang of 70 cm for wheelchair users.

Breakout seating with eating tables should be at a minimum height of 72 cm. Consider staff breakout tables with rounded corners like our Edge round break table, there are no sharp angles and they include brighter colours around the edges to help any partially sighted users navigate the breakout room furniture more easily.

What size is a breakout sofa?

A 2 seater is 120 cm and a 3 seater is 180 cm. This is a breakout seating sofa and lounge seating without armrests so these can be pushed together to create one long sofa with a large seat. This type of breakout room furniture can also be made in the colour and bespoke size of your choice.

Do high back sofas reduce noise?

If the backs and/or the sides of sofas and breakout chairs are above user head height then yes, they can certainly help to reduce noise on breakout area furniture from a reception area.
